Please ignore above question, I figured it out. In case some other new users want to debug IronPythonTools then I think the way to debug is the following:
1. Launch VS 2010 in normal mode and open IronPythonTools.sln 2. Set IronPythonTools as the startup project. 3. Open properties pages of IronPythonTools and select Debug tab. 4. Select "Start external program" radio button and put C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe in the text box next to the radio button. 5. Put /RootSuffix Exp in Command line arguments and press F5 to debug.
